Dan Hackmann Update

I’ve been living in Germany on and off since ’93 and since July ’96 permanently. I started a Management Consulting firm in ’96, had a long term contract with a publishing company, and am now working with an ad agency called abConcept here in Remscheid. We do all sorts of ad work and my area here is web/multimedia and ISDN. Would have gotten back to you even sooner but we were taking a needed vacation in Switzerland in July.

I got remarried in ’95 to a German woman (Mücki) who I met in Konstanz, Germany while I was a visiting professor at the University of Konstanz in ’94. If you are wondering where Remscheid is, it’s about 30 km northeast of Cologne. Weather here is very mild in comparison to IC (like all of Germany) and we are very happy–though it rains here about as much as in Washington or Oregon. We’re about 5 1/2 hours from Switzerland, 2 1/2 hours from the ocean in Holland.

I’ll send along a scan of a picture of me and our dog Tom from our vacation.

Take care.
